No other scheduled flights from VicFalls to Nelspruit.. Just checked fares for NOV and they're not bad. $289PP for adults, $242PP for children ages 2-11. Important question necessary here: are you staying in Zambia or Zimbabwe during your VicFalls visit? Why? Because that flight is from Livingstone, and just buying a visa to cross from Zimbabwe to Zambia to catch the plane will be $50PP.
The catch is that you arrive at Nelspruit at 445PM - have a transfer that will cost $70 - $75PP (based on the charges from the transfer operator I use - R510PP). You would almost certainly be better off to rent a car. And check with Honeyguide about such a late arrival. It will take probably 2 hours to reach the camp from the Nelspruit airport. No way to get there in time for the PM game drive.
If you are using Zambia for the VicFalls visit, the best use of your $$ would be to fly 1Time from Livingstone to Johannesburg - spend the night at the airport, and fly to Hoedspruit the next morning.
Hello Bwana David,
I am planning a SA safari through Wild Wings (very good customer service) from 10/26 to 11/09, 2012 (KP, SR, VF, etc.). The schedule seems interesting based on similar trip a colleague of mine did in 2011 but something bothers me. The flight from KP to the Vic Falls comes to some 6200ZAR (or in Cdn$ some $700). This seems exhorbitant and more so after reading your blog. I don't want to start booking outside the package but would like your opinion and comments so I can have "negotiating" power.
If you get this email could you please let me have your suggestions, comments and recommendations.
Thank you.

Marie-christine,
I suggest -
you remove your personal details for your own good;
you talk to your agent about prices - and don't forget Wild wings use these forums too!
Look at the airline website and check the prices for yourself;
dont forget Dave post is over a year old!
